Guess the Station...

[Ivo]

There is more than a passing resemblance in the posters to FGW "Train Times" posters, actually...

Let's give Topsham a try. I really can't remember what it's like down there; haven't been since April.

Looe

That would be taking the ....

you aren't far away, back up towards Coombe Junction Halt a bit

 

[Ivo]

Sandplace

(which I was tempted to say instead of Topsham, as it turns out)

Correct about FGW, wrong Westcountry branch though.

You are correct.

I got one right!!!!! When did that last happen? Southend Central?

Merci Monsieur. Et maintenant...

(Just a sec)

This is the person complaining about it being difficult.

OK, chaps; here we go. Sorry it's a bit lop-sided. The white blob obscures something what may have been an giveaway.

I saved over the original by mistake :cry: Ah, well; that's what SD cards are for. I'll just copy it over again.

@ TB: Grr...! I have been next to the Looe line (in a car), but never on it. Having said that, if I had been on an FoSW as should have been the case (have finally had final clearance from Uni though ), that would have been changing in just under 45 hours.

 

[Chapeltom]

Coventry?

 

[Track Basher]

Twyford

 

[Matt Taylor]

Brockenhurst.

 

[scotsman]

Westbury, the answer to my pic was Aberdour btw

 

[Track Basher]

I think MT has it

 

[Ivo]

My Internet died

Not too surprisingly, the "local" is the one who called it correctly.

This was taken on the penultimate day of the 421s on the Lymington branch.

And I have successfully resurrected the original, so here it is.

 

[Matt Taylor]

The SR green totem was something of a give away, although this was an easy one for me anyway.

Open floor........

 

[Track Basher]

I will pick up my win from earlier on...

 

[OMGitsDAVE]

I have a feeling its Hexham?

 

[Track Basher]

No it isn't

 

[Ivo]

I don't even recognise the livery! :?

It looks like Beeching did a job on this station, because there is a space (and possibly platform) on the other side of the fence.

Wild guess then, probably on the wrong side of 200 miles out; Wrenbury

 

[Track Basher]

That is the Regional Railways Express livery that they were originally delivered in.

They were once all painted that colour.

Not Wrenbury.

I though this was very easy and it would go quickly.

 

[Chapeltom]

Guide Bridge?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Loughborough.


Open floor if I'm right.

 

[Ivo]

When did 158s go to Loughborough? :?

I have to admit though, I did kind of recognise the station but thought I was probably making it up and thus went for one I've not seen...

 

[steamybrian]

I agree-- Loughborough

 

[Track Basher]

MT has it. It is indeed Loughborough.

158s still go to Loughborough EMT run that way on Sundays.

158s still go to Loughborough EMT run that way on Sundays.

They run there on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays too

Seriously, I didn't realise 158s ran that far south. I assume this is the local services around Derby?

Sorry

 

[Matt Taylor]

158s were regulars when they did test runs from Derby in the early 1990s.

 

[Track Basher]

Also alternate Liverpool - Norwich trains used to go that way. That was a Norwich train.

They used to go round Syston Curve and avoid Leicester.

Most go via Grantham now.

 

[Ivo]

Shows what I know

Seen as no-one has taken the floor, I shall (again :roll.

Give me a minute or two, and I'll have one ready of you all.

 

[Ivo]

Any takers?

 

[159jim]

Okey-dokey!!!
